Brave? The browser that hides ads and substitutes their own? The one that keeps you private from Google AdSense so they can sell your data themselves? The one that keeps their Chromium build lean, so that you don’t notice the crypto miner running along side of it?

The fucking PayPal Honey of browsers? When the fuck did they ever look good? They’re like the “Banzai Buddy” of the HTML5 era

Their "Tip Me" system was opt-out.

In other words, they'd slap a "give this person money" button on other people's websites, and then collect the money themselves, and even if they did send along every last cent to the actual person, that's pretty well fucked.
